Janelle Brown: Smarter Than Your Average Brown (Maybe)

[Irate Panda]

I don’t even think Janelle’s life would change that much if she left Kody.  I think it’s why she doesn’t bother. She pretty much comes and goes as she pleases.  It’s not likely his relationship with his kids would change they already know he’s shitty.  She’s probably the one that thinks the most about  their “finite resources” so I can’t see her willingly doing anything that might risk her show income unless they think a mass wife exodus would prolong the show because how many more seasons can we talk about : fillings, rennals, and catfish. 

I don’t particularly think Janelle wants Kody around anymore than he is.  Honestly, I think he needs Janelle (or place to run away from Robyn and her kids) more than Janelle needs him.  Hell, I wouldn’t put it past Kody to run to Meri’s…well…when she’s out of town.  

Even though Janelle probably gets angry about certain things, I just think she tunes out until the “fillings” pass, then goes and eats a couple of In-N-Out burgers washed down with a bottle of Plexus. Occasionally, she’ll throw out a couple of FUCK OFFs to keep the ratings up and then take a well-deserved nap in her beanbag chair.

[SunnyBeBe]

While I relate to Kody on his abhorrence for covid precaution rejection, I wonder if he’s having a serious mental health crisis. He seems quite unhinged.  I’m a a covid precaution advocate, but can maintain some semblance of stability.  I wonder if there’s some other underlying mental health crisis. And perhaps, Janelle is aware of this.

Looks like Kody couldn't be bothered to drive down and see his daughter who lives on the other side of the country. He's been pictured in the past few weeks in a restaurant and a shopping mall with Robyn (on separate occasions) so its not like they are still in quarantine.

Honestly, some of you have never lived in or around a fundamentalist community and it shows. 🤣🤣🤣

Did she leave Kootie's beloved Caleb back at home? 

[antfitz]

With Cody saying he doesn't want to be intimate with Christine, and hes not intimate with Mary, comma I think he just wants new wives. II think hes looking for the younger ones the little birth babies again.

[Madding crowd]

I don’t think he wants anymore kids. I think he wants to just be with Robyn and her kids and just pretend the rest don’t exist. He never used to talk so much about the older kids just being out on their own and he even talked about wanting everyone close together. Now he has no interest in any of the kids teenage or above.

Excepting Day-un, AROARa, and Breanna, of course.  If they came out of Robyn's twat, then they're worthy of King Kong Kootie.  The others are SOL, including your kids, Janelle and Christine!  Why do they even pretend to put up with him?  Is the $ from the show worth being tossed aside like they don't matter?  How sad.

Kody quote about Janelle in season 4, episode 4: 

“Once in a while when we do get romantic, it feels kinda awkward…”

Ouch…That’s quite rude! But if this was the case at the end of 2012, I dare say they’re having a 100% platonic relationship friendship now. 

[MamaGee]

I hope I am wrong but in the preview of the Tell Nothing, it appeared Janelle might be less supportive of Christine than I thought she would be. I don't know why I continue to like Janelle and hope she'll open her eyes. But if she isn't nice about Christine leaving, then it's going to be a big dill to me.

I believe it's probably editing to make it sound a certain way.

Yes, suggestions, but just think about it for a second: Kody’s wretched, irresponsible, rule-breaking sons in their own show and Sister Wives cancelled… I’m gonna die laughing if that happens! And ideally, this announcement is broken to Robyn and Kody when they’re being secretly filmed…

Yeah, I know, wishful thinking😎☺️ Just let me enjoy this thought for a little while😉

 

[Grifter Lives]

That article was poorly written.  It read, "Though TLC has not renewed it . . ."  Either that is a typo (renewed for reviewed it [suggestions], or it is a reference to Sister Wives.  But, there are reports that they're filming now.  Also, it made it sound as if Kody's wanting to kick Garrison out was the catalyst for Garrison to buy a house, when Garrison just needed 3 more months of savings to purchase something.  His plan was well underway before Kody decreed.

The last thing that I would watch would be Christine's cooking tips or Janelle's Plexus scam.  And, Gabe and Garrison would be the next generation of Brown fambly grifters if they were to get their own show.  I wouldn't watch any spinoff.

Ditto.  I have no interest in any spin offs.  Christine will just be a single mom with a kid at home grifting for a living and visiting grandkids.  Not exactly riveting stuff.

Yeah, same. Once this train wreck is over, I’m not interested in watching a side wreck. 

[LilyD]

Just to be clear; for Gabe and Garrison’s sake, I hope there won’t be a spin off about them. They’re better off without such a circus and for some reason, I doubt they’d be interested. They just don’t seem the type of guys for that.

It’s just the whole idea of cancelling the Kody and Robyn show and having a new show with G&G instead that makes me laugh. That’s what I would call Karma!

 

[deirdra]

My cable TV DVR only shows one hour of SW on Sunday Jan 30th - do others see more than that?

I agree we don't want to ruin G&G's lives any more than Kody already has, but one episode of G&G peeling logs and building a log cabin with no drama (and no Kody) would be fun if TIIC are looking for ideas for the currently filming season.

I only have an hour too. Sister Wives is basically filler material between all the 1,000 spinoff episodes of 90 Day Fiance.

"Christine gave me one of her big bean bags."  Just because.  She says nothing about Christine's leaving the fambly and moving to Utah. 

[sharkerbaby]

why should she?  Much of it is already out and more importantly, its not her story to tell.

[MaddyMaeboxerbabe]

Guess she has nothing to post about striving….🤔

[iwantcookies]

She is striving to sell more plexus from her couch and looking for her gym shoes…

One was Gabe’s. Perhaps just not in the picture, or he’s living elsewhere.

Thanks Ginger… I was worried maybe she got rid of one ❤️

[Ms.Lulu]

Kody is the one that hates dogs unless they live on ranches and he can talk to them and they talk back (he said this in season 1 and Mykelti advised you can't have a conversation with a dog).  I think one of the reasons both Christine and Janelle enjoy living without Kody is they can have dogs.

Of course, Robyn wouldn't get a dog.

She already has a dog… his name is Kody  😋

She had him neutered and he’s good at fetching

And he sits when she says "Sit" and "heels" when she says ""Heel"! He also speaks when she says "Speak!" He is well-trained and she tells him " There's a good boy", pats him on the head and throws him a treat.

Gotta say, it looks better than most of the "creations" she posts. Knife skills need a little work, but all in all not bad.

This is a great idea—the problem I have with this (and many of Janelle’s posts) is the apologetic lack of confidence she conveys.

And shouldn’t a seasoned health coach have fewer “battles” when it comes to take out?

I still have hope that Janelle will leave the coven. She left a long time ago for 2 whole years then came back. I think it was before Christine. I didn't know that until recently. There is a lot we don't know about The Browns. 

Janelle never left the relationship with Kody, she just couldn't stand living with Meri. Christine came into the family when Janelle was pregnant with Logan, and when Janelle moved out, Christine would still take care of her kids when she was at work. Janelle was willing to all live together again when they bought the Utah house (using Janelle's funds as down payment, I think an inheritance)  with the separate wings. 

I agree with those that think Janelle will be the last wife standing. She expects the least from Kody, and doesn't mind seeing him every now and again. Likely she will spend most of her time with Christine and their kids, and see Kody occasionally when he gets sick of being around Robin.

Looks like she did a good job on her move goal—even though it’s only 270 as a goal, she surpassed that and then some. Hope she can keep this up as a regular part of her “routine”. 

[MaddyMaeboxerbabe]

I didn’t know the move ring went that low!  I am 10+ years older than Janelle and had a stroke 3 years ago and I started  mine at 800 and I have increase it to 1100.  I am happy she is moving but a little surprised her goal is so low?    

[Grifter Lives]

How can her stand progress be so low?  It looks like she's exercising and moving only during her workout.  Also, she's obviously smiling under the smiley face in the "Turn the frown upside down," post-workout pitcher (where she is seated).  And, she needed to use the em-dash to avoid a misinterpretation of a minus sign, given it follows an equal sign.

[ginger90]

Well no way they were from her “Husband”

Very sweet of Gabe!   ❤️
